Dentist G
This dentist has been identified as atypical as a result of the K-Means clustering analysis
for general (non-tooth specific) procedures. In particular, the chart below shows that this
dentist has an extremely high proportion of claims in Cluster 2 (age > 19, major work,
expensive technologies used).
A manual review of this practitioner’s claim history showed an abnormally frequent use
of nitrous dioxide (which we classified as an indicator of major work and also as an
expensive technology).
